P is for Peace and Write, Edit, Publish

Today is a slightly different day. Every other day throughout the A to Z Challenge, I've written a drabble based on a word I got using a random word generator. Today, I'm writing a poem based on the word PEACE. This is, of course, due to my participation in Write, Edit, Publish. Thank you to Yolanda Renee and Denise Covey for hosting this event.

Since I've been doing drabbles, which are pieces of fiction of exactly 100 words, I set myself the additional challenge of making my poem also be 100 words in length. Poetry isn't my strongest area, so this was tough, but I hope it works!

L.G. Great poem. It may not be your genre of choice, but you created words of wisdom in your rhyming couplets. Especially loved: 'Strength of character and convictionCarry us on despite affliction...' Today, we need those strengths in ever-increasing measure.

I loved your poem and can't quite believe that you aren't good at writing poetry. Such a lovely simple message of peace. Now I wish all our collective peace energy in writing about it brings about peace.

You did a beautiful job! Captured the word wonderfully! Too bad, today it's only a word and not reality. If only kindness were practiced more!Excellent! Thank you, Laura, for your participation. The WEP wouldn't be the same without you! You continue to amaze and surprise, although, I don't know why? You are one talented writer! Congratulations on all the books listed in your side bar! One busy lady! :)

About Me

I am many things: a writer, a mother, a wife, a certified nutcase. Well, maybe not certified. No one ever had me tested. My characters exist in my head like multiple personalities. I deal with my insanity by putting it on paper for others to read.
